To avoid such injuries, he offered some final tips for at-home storm safety:
• Unplug all major appliances, including televisions, stereos, and microwave ovens. Some of these can have current running through them even when they’re turned off.
• Stay off the telephone. Lightning can hit telephone wires and cause even fatal shocks to the person holding the receiver. To save the possible expense of replacing the phone, unplug it before the storm hits. Some of the inexpensive phones now on the market aren’t well protected against lightning damage.
• Don’t stand between two windows. Lightning may follow the path of an air current and “sideflash” through your home.
